The Kei trucks are a less than ideal, last ditch response to a market that had failed a lot of consumers.

Look for those profiting from the status quo to do everything possible outside of the market to stop it.

You find this everywhere there is a centralized "authority". Incumbants use every trick to keep their tribe in power at the expense of what that central power was nominally "supposed to do".

The purpose of the system is what it does. The purpose of seemingly all regulatory institutions is to gain and maintain power for the tribe in power.
